Sex Pistols frontman slams Prince Harry and Meghan telling them to f*** off

The former Sex Pistols lead singer has slammed his Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as he took a savage swipe at the couple in a recent interview.

John Lydon, 67, had a go at his California-based neighbours, telling them to "f*** off and shut up".

The royals moved next door to the punk rocker in 2020 after they stepped down from their Royal roles and relocated to the States.

In a furious rant, Lydon said the public would take to them more if they adopted the life of privacy they 'desperately claim they want'.

He told The Telegraph: "If you want to be normal and outside of [the Royal Family], then f*** off.

"Just f*** off and shut up!

"I've had to make decisions like this in the past.

"I had to leave the Pistols, I had to break up PiL [Public Image Ltd] a couple of times because the situation was unsustainable.

"And if that was their dilemma then please go away, alright? And we'll love you for it."

Lydon called the feud between Harry, Markle and the rest of the royals “so messy” and dragged the prince specifically for airing his dirty laundry in his scathing memoir Spare.

“I’ve never been one for kiss-and-tell books,” the musician said. “They’re very, very spiteful to families and friends.”

The frontman famously released 'God Save The Queen' with his band ahead of the Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977.

And previously he slammed Harry's "spiteful" book as it attacked the Royals.

Claims in the tell-all memoir included how brother William threw Harry to the ground in a fit of rage.

Lydon's public criticism comes following Buckingham Palace's announcement that Harry would attend the King's Coronation after months of uncertainty- but he won't be joined by wife Meghan.
